Social housing law

Social housing is one of our major areas of business. We are well known for our work in this economically and socially important area, and for the knowledge and understanding of the social housing sector which we have built up over many years. This has recently been brought together in a handbook written by our team, "Social Housing Law: A Practical Guide" (Tottel Publishing).

Our strong, well-resourced social housing team acts for more than 200 registered social landlords, including some of the country's largest housing associations as well as a number of smaller registered social landlords. We advise on all the issues which regularly affect your businesses, and have built a solid reputation for expert advice that 'manages out' potential problems and solves them efficiently when they arise.

The key areas in which we can help you include:

  • Acquisition, development and disposal of land and property.
  • Funding agreements.
  • Housing management.
  • Plot sales.
  • Care and supported housing.
  • Governance and constitutional issues.
  • Organisational structure.
  • Statutory and regulatory compliance.
